The No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers put on a first-half clinic against No. 5 Oregon in Friday’s Peach Bowl, rolling up a 35-7 lead through the first 30 minutes of the College Football Playoff semifinal.
The Hoosiers, who went to Eugene and defeated the Ducks 30-20 on Oct. 11, overwhelmed the Ducks from the very start – picking off Oregon quarterback Dante Moore on the game’s first play and returning it 25 yards for a score to the delight of a decidedly pro-Indiana crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
